Battling my inner fears…
And countless insecurities…
Fighting those vulnerable feelings…

Asking God, my Higher Power…
Point me in the right direction…
To a better life worth living…
And some quiet introspection…

If I listen for the answers…
To the questions I’ve been asking…
Maybe I’ll hear the right solution…
To live clean and sober everlasting…

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
